For Sale

Selling off a whole bunch of machinery and needed a place to post it all - will continue to update with prices and new offerings as I can. For starters, here's the specs and the photos, including footprint measurements. Anyone interested can email me at suapyg@gmail.com or call or text 917.749.5554 - thanks!

UPDATE 1/26/14: Okay, I'm adding prices and additional things for sale. All prices are asking price - I found each of these things for sale or recently sold and copied the prices, for the most part. Feel free to make me an offer on whatever you're looking for. All the saws come with a bunch of really nice blades and fixtures, outfeed tables, miter guages, manuals, etc. I have many accessories for things that I'm happy to throw in.

Okay, new items:

Leigh Dovetail Jig 24" - very good condition. $300.00 Includes a dozen or so router bits.

Yates #2 Shaper- 40” x 56” Either a very cool project, or a massive paperweight. This was once a very cool machine. Needs a bunch of work now - a lot of surface rust, motor is good but arbor is bent. I'll get some pics to show...

Singer sewing machine 20”d x 30”w x 32”h I might just sell this fabulous sewing table, and keep the machine. It was my Mom's. Make me an offer if it interests you, either way.

About Me

Once a musician, writer, and spoken word performer, Scott Braun now designs and builds sculptural furniture by commission as he runs a "co-op" shop in Brooklyn, acts as President of Furniture New York, and serves on the Board of Trustees of the Furniture Society. He also critiques and lectures on the subjects of design and craft, and has recently joined the faculty in the Sculpture Department at the Yale University School of Art.
His work has been placed in the homes of collectors throughout the United States, and is frequently featured in design magazines such as Interior Design, ForbesLife, House Beautiful, and the NYTimes Home section. He is still young enough to be excited about the future, and just old enough to know it's all gone to hell.
